The State Historical Society of Missouri's collection is non-circulating; however, an interlibrary loan (ILL) service makes microfilm available to patrons who cannot visit one of our research centers in Columbia, St. Louis, Rolla, Kansas City, Springfield, or Cape Girardeau. The Society's circulating microfilm collections include:

newspapers

manuscripts

selected high-demand county history books

city and county directories

land ownership maps

periodicals

Limit: 1 or 2 reels, two weeks use

Charges include postage and handling

Direct Microfilm Loan is available to members in the Supporting, Sustaining, Patron or Life levels. All others should use our Interlibrary Loan Form

A maximum of two reels may be borrowed per loan at the one cost of $10.00. Should a request require more than 2 reels, the first 2 available reels will be sent. A new request cannot be shipped until the current loan is received at the Society.

Please return all loan materials in sturdy cardboard boxes at UPS or First Class Insured Mail. Do Not Use Jiffy Mailers.

Note the borrower is responsible for replacement or repair costs for any damage or loss during the loan period.

The Society regrets it cannot place any materials on reserve.
